Is it really 15-20 hours of labour to replace them and if not, can anyone recommend a garage that will do it properly in less time, preferably in the South East.

I understand it's possible (although not easy) to replace the injectors without dropping the engine in about a day, so was expecting a quote for a fraction of the cost.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 3Original post

what @NineExcellence said 996T - £500 quote for labour on injector swap? Hi all, just hoping to get some guidance on the likely cost of upgrading the injectors in my 996 Turbo - just had a quote that came in at £500 just for labour. Seems a bit toppy to me as from what I've read it doesn't seem that big a job? Assuming £100 p/h labour rates, that's 5 hours or 45... 911uk.com
